Martin North | Will 50 year mortgages become a reality?

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate

In this episode, we welcome back Martin North, Founder of Digital Finance Analytics (DFA). DFA surveys thousands of Australian families to gauge key consumer metrics, which have been crucial in highlighting areas of concern within debt and property prices. This is Martin’s third appearance on the Podcast, previously he has shared bearish views on the property market but maybe in this episode, he has had a change in heart?

The economist’s who cried wolf will be known for their false property market crash predictions. It was meant to be peak Covid cases, the tightening of restrictions, the September cliff and in March of 2021 end of job seeker.

Here we are in May, the property market has only broken records due to a variety of factors resulting in a lack of quality supply and overflowing demand that has brought new faces into neighbouring suburbs. But what’s next? Will consumers continue to go to auction on a Saturday until they settle, or will they give up waiting for a market crash that may never happen? Alternatively, have consumers bitten off more debt than they can chew, and will a potential cash rate increase bring down property prices to all-time lows?
